Media Reviews
'A hugely enjoyable novel, multi-layered, vividly depicted and a fascinating story, filled with the colours, sights and scents of Constantinople in the 16th century. This story is at the same time fast moving, complex and deeply satisfying!' Joanne Harris 'The Aviary Gate reminds us of the fact that Katie Hickman is first and foremost a vibrant story-teller who writes mainly because of the pure joy of weaving stories, be they historical or as in this case fictional accounts. And for that, I am very grateful to her.' Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran Praise for DAUGHTERS OF BRITANNIA: 'This is a lovely book: affectionate, celebratory, and as conscious of the glory as the hardship.' Libby Purves 'This is a delightful and exceptionally well-written book, funny, lively and warm-hearted.' Daily Telegraph
